Very WELL" says Bolton it s a bar

NO" replied the butler, hurriedly;
mo monkeyi2g, promise you"
And before Bolton can say another
word, Kibbey rushes away, leaving
Bolton standing alone with the money
in his hand.

makes his way back to his hotel, "and
Pm glad of it. / dislike having to put

Mr.. Bolton reaches his inn, writes a
few lines to Loo, telling her that he
has unexpectedly received a remittance
and that he will therefore cancel the
engagement for Tuesday evening,
blows out his candle, and in high good
humor with himself and the world,
jumps into bed.
Not so with the butler.
Kibbey rushes away to his room at
Bywater Park, throws himself flu
riously into a chair, shakes two fists at
an imaginary somebody, whom he

and curses until the very air is blue.
His fury exhausted. he goes to cup

out the contents, which proved to be
notes and gold pieces, proceeds to
count his money. Not enough, he
mutters, gloomily. "If I leave, and
of course III have to leave after this,
We must crack the crib. There's moth
ing else to be done. That Bolton
blast him-why did he ever come to
Bywater Park?'
Now the butler fetches pens, ink and
paper, and proceeds to scrawl in his
turn the following epistle:

How Mirrors Are Made.


One OF the factories in Chicago EMPLOYS
| some $50 men and boys, and its spacious
| four floors present an interesting series
| of sights to the visitors whose nerves
are steel and tympani proof against
splitting. On the first floor he will see
huge stacks and piles of glass In assorted
sizes, ranging from Is feet by 7 feet
| squares down to the smallest ovals for
mirrors. These are all polls he'd. some
being run over huge felt-covered wheels
kept powdered with rouge, and the
| larger sheets scrubbed by sweating toll
ers with hand blocks covere d with felt
like printers proof planeT in rouge.
After the glass is thoroughly polished it
is taken up to the next floor, whore it is
laid on tables and cut into the sizes or
dered. 1t then passes into the hands of
the Jewellers, who, with sand and water
and large grindEtones, artistica1y finish
the edges of the glass. 1t takes trip up
ward again, to another floor, and is once
more put through polishing
process TO remove any scratches or
blemishes that may be on the glass. AZ
ter every spot or scratch, no matter how
minute, has been removed, careful
hands convey the now sparkling glass to
the room where it goes through the final
process, the silvering. Huge tables of
cast iron or stone, made like billiard
tables, with raised edges, are used in the
silverlng room. These tables are of
great strength and solidity, and all
around the edge is drain, for the super
tiuous mercury is poured over the tables
in quantities sufficient 10 float the glass,
which, after being tinfoiled, is gently
and carefully pushed across the table
containing the mercury. Great care
must be used to prevent blemishes
the least speck of dust being
ruinous to the mirror. Mercury. like
molten lead, is always covered with "A
dirty-looking scum which cannot be re-
moved by skimming. The least bit OF
this scum would spoH the mirror, SO the
difficulty is obviated by showing the
scum along with the edge OF the glass.
After successfully t1oatingt the glass along
on the mercury, wooden cloth ID spread
over the whole surface and square iron
weights are applied until the whole
presents compact mass of iron, two or
three pounds to the square inch. After
this pressure has been confined for ten
or twelve hours, the weights are re-
moved and the glass placed upon an
other table of wood with slightly in
clned top. The inclination is gradually
increased until the unamalga mated
quicksilver has drained away and only
the perfect amalgam remains, coating
the glass and perfectly adherent. This
ends the process, and the erstwhile'
rough piece of plate glass emerges from
the sllverlng room gorgeous mirror.

Bloody Afrray on the Morgan
30rks.
New YORK, February S.-A free
fight took place yesterday on the pier of
the Morgan line of steamers, between
number of striking longshoremen.
After the police had separated the com.
batants, John O'Neill, a longshoreman,
was found lying on the pier weltering in
blood. and near him was an open razor.
O'Neill had deep slash down his back.
He was removed to the hospital in an
unconscious condition. Boss stevedores
had meeting and took measures to fill
the place Of the strikers immediately.
ACKNOWLEDGE THEY ARE BEATEN.
Strikers whom police inspector Steers
met when he made his tour of the
North River front to-day acknowledged
to him that they were beaten. Freight
was offered in less quantities than usual
on Monday and tho green hands were
nearly equal to it. There wers more
men applying for work at the piers than
can be accommodated with places.
RETURNING TO WORK.
There was considerable activity on
the piers of the river front this morning
and freight was being moved with much
more dispatch than on any day since the
strike. The time that has elapsed since
lopgshoremen and freight handlers quit
work has enabled railroad and steamship
companies to select, aud in some cases
train, sufficient men to keep freight
moving steadily along, besides many Of
the old freight handlers and longshore.
men are coming back to work-not at
the places where they are known, but
where they are least likely to be known.
